Round Rock's MMA gym. Monthly fight cards and tournaments. Trainers all the way up. The strongest community in the Austin area.
Iron Forge runs an active fight team for members serious about competition. Sparring nights twice a week, Open Mat Wednesdays, drilling sessions led by coaches who actively compete. The training that actually moves your level.
Iron Forge was founded by Rob Impastato and Esther Chou of Big Tex Gym in Austin. They knew what was missing from gyms up here, so they built one. Every coach on the floor is an active competitor or career professional.
Every coach on the Iron Forge floor is an active competitor or a career professional. Muay Thai, Boxing, BJJ, Wrestling, MMA, Kids classes, and personal training, all led by people who still train and still compete. Pick a discipline below and meet the coach who runs it.

One of the best gyms I've ever trained at. Even at peak hours it never feels packed. Staff is genuinely helpful, the floor stays clean, and there's enough variety in the equipment that I never feel stuck. Signed up the first day I walked in.
Walked in skeptical, walked out a member. Motivated but welcoming vibe, ownership is genuinely encouraging, front desk staff is sharp. Multiple weight areas, no waiting on machines or benches even at peak. This is my main gym now.
The Muay Thai program is excellent. It works for total beginners and experienced fighters alike. Welcoming to women and kids, and the energy in the room is something you don't find at most martial arts gyms. Coaches are top tier.
Great staff, great community, solid equipment, and a real range of options to train. Hard to ask for much more, and from what I'm hearing, this is just the start. A welcome addition to Round Rock.
Iron Forge is just getting started. Here's what's on deck. All of it included for members when it lands.
